The CALM-D intervention consists of 17 sessions. The first 4 sessions meet weekly. Sessions 1 and 2 are individual sessions in which counselor and participant get to know one another and build rapport. They also provide the participant with the opportunity to ask questions, describe potential barriers and express reservations. Sessions 3 and 4, which also meet weekly, encourage participants to get to know one another and deal with issues concerning diet and medication adherence. After the first 4 weekly sessions, participants meet for 4 biweekly sessions followed by 9 monthly sessions. One week prior to each bi-weekly and monthly session, the therapist will call to remind the participant of the next meeting and request that the participant wear the accelerometer and fill-out the food diary daily until the upcoming session. Immediately prior to each CALM-D intervention session, the participant is weighed, accelerometer results are recorded and the food diary is turned in. Upon initial randomization into the intervention condition and again during session 1, the participant is told that he or she is invited to ask a partner, family member living in the household or a friend to come to the intervention sessions. The topic for each session are shown in Table D.3.9.
